France 2015

France-Promo-2015-931px

 

Here’s a fabulous opportunity to immerse yourself , your camera and your digital paint brushes into the glorious scenery and wonder of the French countryside surrounding the medieval village of Durfort.

Not only will we be exploring Languedoc, taking lots of photographs and learning more about your camera and how to capture that perfect moment, we will also be taking your images back to our cozy workroom and spending time together learning how best to process those images in Lightroom and/or Photoshop and how to give them that fantastic zing you see in those travel magazines!

As if that was not enough, we are also going to embark on some creative explorations and show you how to craft dreamy composites and photo montages in Photoshop AND how to interpret your work in a painterly fashion using Photoshop and Corel Painter X3.

Your week of photography and digital art explorations will leave you with a wonderful portfolio of images to document this fabulous experience.

The workshop is being hosted by award winning Photographer and Photoshop Teacher, Marie Otero and the talented Photoshop Artist and Digital Painter, Karen Burns.

Our workshop days will include daily field trips, photography instruction, digital post processing along with Photoshop and Corel X3 Painter Instruction.

There will be Open studio at night where Marie & Karen will be happy to work with you on the processing of your images.
